Some irresponsible scrlbbler at Bis

the Chicago Times IN warrantably Tugs
in Miles City affairs to flavor his gos-
sip by making this remarkable stats
ment:
Passengers report that Miles City has
been twice inundated within the last

the town Is again under water. Water
flowed in all the streets. and In one
II eet, in the real OF the town, 1t was
over ten feet deep, compelling busi-
ness men To remain from their homes
all night.
This robust statement has probably
no more reliable foundation than that
some married man taking advantage
OF the incipient flood of two weeks ago
stayed out pretty late and gave as an
excuse that the water was too deep for
him to get home. What with being
first frozen stiff by sixty below con.

The Reading Room Benefit,

There Is no more worthy charity In
Miles City than the Free Reading
Room. Although yet in its infancy
and but poorly supplied with reading
material, its rooms are always COM
fortsbly filled and the benefits con-
ferred are highly appreciated. Being
under continuous expense for rental,
lights and fuel, and having no income
whatever, 1t 10 compelled to make
periodical appeals to the public for
support, such appeals, however, Icing
always made In the shape of some en-
tertainment, at which a generous re-
turn is always given for the small
charge made. The entertainment to
be given tonight is well worth the
price Of admission even if no worthy
object was TO be subserved. IL IL
therefore urged upon our people that
they attend tonight, giving the en-.
enlargement Of their presence as well
AS their money To the ladies aud gen.
tlemen who have interested them
selves ia the support Of the reading
room. A proper appreciation of their
efforts will be gratefully acknowledged,
and the excellent cause for which
they are working receive a new
impetus.

A gentleman writes from Chambers
burg, Pa, as follows: Mr.. Ephraim
Hiteshen, OF this place, has placed in
my hands a pocket bible in the hope
that this notice of IL and the circum-
stances under which IL came into his
possession may lead TO the discovery
of its donor. who would doubtless
prize IL highly.
Mr.. Hiteshen was In the vicinity of
the battle of South mountain, which
was fought on Sunday, Sept. Ia, 1862,
and early on the following morning
Monday, l5th-went upon the field.
Among the many dead all around him
was union soldier by whose side lay
pocket bible, which had evidently
fallen from his dying hands. Think
ing to preserve this book for friends
of the dead soldier he took 1t and car
rled IL away with him. He had not
gone far away until he came across a
wounded federal who earnestly begged
him to procure him some water. Mr..
Hiteshen saw from the nature of his
wound--a bullet through the bowels -
that he could not long survive, and ne
inquired of him as TO his preparedness
for death. The wounded man replied;
II die for my country and her flag
and hope to be saved
Mr.. III. then asked him If he would
not like to look at the bible which he
held in his hand while he would take
his canteen and go in search of water.
To this he eagerly assented. Upon
Mr.. Hiteshen's return he, too, was in
the agonies of death. That bib.e Mr..
Hiteshen has yet In his possession and

other papers throughout the country,

The little tot'ring baby feet.
With faltsring steps and slow.
With pattering echoes soft and sweet z
Into my heart they GO;
They also 60, In grimy plays,
In muddy pools and dusty ways,
Then through the house in trackful maze
They wander TO and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck
With touches dear TO me,
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with cane,
They rend the manuscript In twain,
widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murm'r ring baby voice
That COOS It's little tune.
That makes my listening heart rejoice
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake at midnight dark and still,
And all the air with bowling all,
That splits the ear with echoes shrilI,
Like comets out OF tune.

A TIMELY PREPARATION
Made by Aunt Comfort in Behalf
Of Her Niece.

How Ben Paddock. a handsome.
bronze-faced young fellow, "a sailor
by calling as he said, aver found his
way to the little inland town where he
met Hetty Witherill. is a mystery. He
did meet her, however, and fell in love
with her, much to the discontinue of
Aunt Comfort Pike, the maternal rela-
tive who had ''riz Hetty up" SO she
averred, 'to hcv nothin' to say to
men-critturs,' and to live a respectable
single life. like herself.
Miss Comforts name was something
of IA misnomer, as she had never been
much of u comfort to herself or any
body else. She might. indeed. have
been more appropriately christened
"wet blanket from the generally dis
NAL and depressing effect she exertcd
upon every one with whom she came in
contact. Nevertheless, Miss Comfort
had her good qualities, only they were
so securely hidden away under her un-
compromising manners and exterior
that few had the penetration to dis
cover them.
Her niece, Hetty, was a pretty buxom
girl, with plenty of light brown. wavy
hair, eyes as blue as flax-flowers, and
cheeks as red as the clover hobs blush
ing in the long meadow under the
bright June sunshine.
Not a few of the young farmers in
and around Edgemcad township had
succumbed to Hetty's many attrac.
tons. but Miss Comfort had invari-
ably frowned on their attentions, and
ruthlessly nipped their young affec-
tons in the bud. Hetty only laughed
at her aunt's frequent declarations
that she, Hetty, was destined to re.
main a spinster, like herself.
II neve saw a man yet l cared two
straws for" she would answer, light
ly. When l do but she would
never finish the sentence.
But at last. when Hetty was twenty
three years of age, and prettier than
she had ever been before, along came
Sailor Ben, and fell over head and ears
in love with her. Whether Aunt
Comfort had grown over-confident
from long-continued success. or
whether she knowingly risked all
danger for the sake Of the profit, not
being averse to turn an honest pen.

question. At all events, when Ben
